+ H-Br Energy I 3. H-Br addition to 3-methylbut-1-ene forms 2-bromo-2-methylbutane as the major addition product. 1) Draw the step-by-step mechanism by which 3-methylbut-1-ene is converted into 2-bromo-2-methylbutane. A step-by-step mechanism shows i) the electron pushing arrows for each chemical step, ii) draws each intermediate or product formed by a chemical step and iii) specifies non-zero formal charges. (****Draw your mechanism so that you use the H-Br + 3-methylbut-1-ene (left edge below the graph template) as your reactants and finish your mechanism using the 2-bromo-2- methylbutane (right edge below the graph template) as your product****). 2) Sketch a reaction coordinate diagram that shows how the internal energy (Y- axis) of the reacting species change from reactants to intermediate(s) to product. Each step in a mechanism starts with the reactants of that step, crosses a transition state (an energy maximum) to form the products of that step. Position the relevant local minima and maxima in your reaction coordinate diagram above the corresponding starting material, intermediate(s) and product in your mechanism. Br
